Steroids

By Erin Knight

Book Overview

Did you know about one third of high school students take steroids to improve their looks - not just their athletic skills? Steroid use is becoming a major issue among 12- to 18-year-olds today. This helpful and informative book looks at the pressures young people are under to look "cut" and perform well in sports. Special chapters examine the effects of anabolic steroids on the developing bodies and minds of young people and how difficult it can be to quit when you've got "the edge."
